The Day We Met an Angel children’s book

Cover of The Day We Met an Angel, with an illustrated dog watching a white butterfly in a lavender field

A manuscript and collection of supplied illustrations were transformed into a cohesive children’s book, beginning with the cover and carrying that visual language throughout the interior. The typography needed to feel warm and engaging without becoming overly juvenile, while allowing the illustrations and story to remain at the center. The same identity was adapted for hardcover and softcover editions, as well as a coordinating promotional bookmark, while accounting for the different production requirements of each.
